Can't vote for Dean because of the scream. Can't vote for Kerry because of the gaffe

[LittleClarkie]

Can't vote for Edwards because of Walmart. Can't vote for Hillary because the right hates her. Can't vote for Gore because he makes up stories.

Could we stick with people once in a while, even after the Right and the media have tried to destroy them? Just once? We run towards people thinking they're the next big thing, and then run just as quickly away when the Right throws something on them that seems to stick, or we're afraid will stick.

I'm sick of watching people be declared toast for 2008 based on stupid shit.

1. I dont understand why everyone got so scared of dean....

Who cares if he screams when hes excited, he is a human. If anything I feel it should have helped him, showed as passionate about the job, and about helping our country.

[Sugar Smack]

7. I loved him so much more after that roar he let out.

He's a real man.:loveya:

[Parche]

2. 2008

I am still going to try for Kerry in 2008

KERRY/CLARK 2008

[sandrakae]

3. I love you.

[Sugar Smack]

4. Can't vote for Gore because he sighs a lot when

confronted with his opponent's insurmountable stupidity.

[Hav]

8. .

Yeah lol, that was the most annoying thing about it.
Bush said something really stupid, Gore sighed (like in "Awww geez, he's so stupid!") and everybody concentrated on the sighing but not on the thing that caused it.

[Sugar Smack]

13. What red-blooded American with a brain WOUDN'T sigh when

faced with Bush? It would be like trying to stifle a yawn or, frankly, like breathing.

:hi:

[Cha]

27. "It's the media, stupid!"~ Not

addressing you personally..however it has been the media since day one with bush and I was a novice to politics back then.

It's only gotten worse but even the fascistwhorepress cannot cover up for the incompetence of the bushits..and we know they've tried and are still whoring against Dems/The People.

They're not going to change so we have to beat them again with the ever growing miracle of NETROOTS! :kick: :kick:

[LittleClarkie]

31. That's a good start. Make people believe despite the media

I'm sick of them destroying candidates one by one.

[let us vote]

5. Now you know how the Kucitizens feel. He's the smartest man in America

Everyone agrees he would make the best President. But then they come up with stupid reasons not to support him.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. So true!

[NoPasaran]

17. I don't agree he would make the best President

In particular I disagree with that nutty "Dept. of Peace" idea of his.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Yes, but at least that's a better rationale than "He looks like a garden gnome"

See what I'm getting at?

[Cha]

32. I don't know..I kinda like

"The Department Of PEACE"..with a big ol' White Dove as their Emblem.

[blm]

6. No kidding - people say the media does it to every Dem and then they react exactly

the way the media has directed them to react.

Damaged goods - there are no second acts - - - oh really? The world is FULL of them. It only took the Clintons a few years to get back in favor after the Clintons trashed the White House story, and only 6 years before Clinton got to put the "Clinton didn't do anything about terror" meme to rest.

So, of course there are second acts.

Look at all the IranContra criminals working in the White House now. GOPs have loyalties for bad guys more than Dems have loyalties for their most courageous.

[Montauk6]

9. You forgot

Can't vote for Clark because he was a Republican.
Can't vote for Feingold because he's single (and lately because he doesn't want the job)
Can't vote for Kucinich because he's short and has odd hair (he's taken care of the single part)
Can't vote for Kennedy because of Chappaquiddick
Can't vote for Obama because he's young, gifted and Black
Can't vote for Pelosi because she's older than she looks
Can't vote for Lieberman because we've got more sense than that
Can't vote for Kerrey because everybody confuses him with Kerry
Can't vote for Cuomo because he's a New Yawkah
Can't vote for Granholm because she ain't a naturified Uhmurrrkan

[librechik]

10. Easy--the media is controlled by Republicans and they will always

ALWAYS make war on us.

Remember Clinton?

the idea that the media is liberal is a huge, huge joke. If they were, don't you think they'd be acting different now that liberals are on top?

No, their agenda, no matter who is in charge, is to trash every liberal they can think of, as often and as ruthlessly as possible. If we thought they would court the new majority market with their content we were very much mistaken. They don't care about profits in this case. They only care about protecting their Republican toelickers wherever they lurk (boardrooms mainly)

11. what is the walmart - edwards connection?

[LittleClarkie]

16. A staffer tried to gat a PS3 through them for Edwards kid

not that Edwards asked him to or anything. But now the RW pundits are calling him a hypocrite because he's been railing against Walmart.

[Nay]

12. Well, I want Gore to run, and the hell with all these bastards making

up stories. I'd take Clark or Dean too, and the Dean scream made me like him all the more. It beats the hell out of all those black-souled lizards on the pub side.

[Sugar Smack]

15. You sounded like Hunter S. Thompson just now!!!!

:yourock:

[Nay]

22. Now, that's a compliment. I loved Hunter S. ever since his political

screeds in Rolling Stone came out during the Vietnam years. That guy could write. And think.

[Sugar Smack]

25. Plus, he had a heart of gold!

Oh, don't get me started, LOL! I have every single one of his books, and one of Ralph Steadman's. Hunter Thompson books taught me how to cuss efficiently and use a little passion in my writing. What a man!!

:toast: :bounce: :pals:

[Nay]

26. OMG, I forgot about Steadman's absolutely wonderful drawings.

They made those Pub bastards look like the dirtiest slime ever! They were so cool!

[JNelson6563]

19. Good point and I'd add

it's really pathetic to see posts declaring someone who has a great moment should run for prez. I've seen it for just about anyone who made a good speech.

AT least for 08 the Rethugs will also have a primary to get through.

[Bucky]

21. Excellent post!! My dream ticket is Clark/JNelson6563 or JNelson6563/Clark

but only if by "President Clark" you mean that minor character from Babylon 5

[JNelson6563]

29. haha Good one!

:toast:

[LSK]

20. who said that about Gore?

:shrug:

[Bucky]

23. Google Gore and "Love Story". Google Gore and "invented internet"

Google Gore and "flew over Florida". Like any politician, Gore likes to toot his own horn. For some reason whenever he does so, a zillion GOP-CSI researchers parse his words to see if they can twist them into a possible exaggeration.

[seabeyond]

24. he invented internet. always calling him a liar and then during

debate they counted one exaggeration of gore and 3 flat out lies of bush, the honest down to earth dude from texas

[LittleClarkie]

28. I'm referring to the 2000 campaign

where it was suggested that Gore made up stories like that he invented the internet and about school children who didn't have enough desks. The archives of the Daily Howler contain alot of it. Interesting reading.

[stepnw1f]

30. lol... It Is an Interesting Phenomena

More than half of a person's decision to vote is based on the media's manufactured perception of those folks you just mentioned. Why, how many can name off the top of their heads, what legislation each person pushed or helped push through Congress?
